    You need the ZetLight Nano..........


    Looks good, but won't look great until you get water in that!

    I heard for some kid in Rockford that the mini puts out more light.

    If the kid is from Rockford, Illinois, I wouldn't trust him.

    I think you made the right choice, for ease of use the mini seems more applicable. The mini also is 3 watts vs. the nano's .6 watts.

    Psshhh, I trust him as far as I can throw him... and my back is out.

    He won both the nano and the mini and said the mini is better all around.I really like the light too... I't clip is kinda weak, but its only one screw so what can you expect.

    I would imagine it being able to swivel like a desk lamp is a huge plus. When will new pictures come?

    Sorry to hear about your back, mine is pretty messed up as well - I've been in physical therapy the better half of this year.

    Probably tonight or tomorrow. I need to bend the acrylic for the closed loop and make up water.
